Songs from the Deep

The way the story intertwines myth and history made me wonder if the mermaids represent something deeper about identity or society. What did others think about the symbolism?

The mix of historical fiction and fantasy felt seamless but deliberate. I'm curious what inspired the choice to set this story in that particular era and how the myth was integrated.

Some chapters felt like they took their time exploring characters’ inner worlds, which worked for atmosphere but made me wonder if that was intentional. Did others find it immersive or a bit sluggish?
